What comes up in Manly Vale

3 conditions, and each one is handled differently

Every site is scoped on the day. The table is what the work usually involves here rather than a statement about any particular property.

Knockdown then a cut into the fall

Manly Vale blocks slope, so the demolition is usually the first half of a job that ends with a building platform.

How it is handled
Structure removed, then the cut taken in benches from the high side with each level stable before the next is opened.
What does it
Midi excavator able to work on a grade, tippers staged at the street.

Rock found part way down

Not every Manly Vale block has rock, and that is exactly why it is checked rather than assumed either way.

How it is handled
The strip, the access and the cartage priced from the site visit. Rock priced by the cubic metre at a rate agreed before the dig starts.
What does it
Hydraulic hammer brought in when the face calls for it, ripper where the bedding helps.

Freestanding houses

Single and double storey brick, brick veneer, fibro and timber. The era matters more than the material, because anything built before 1990 carries a hazardous materials assumption until it is tested.

How it is handled
Hazardous materials removed and cleared first, services disconnected in writing, then the structure taken down and the material separated as it falls.
What does it
Excavator with a demolition grapple, sized to the side access rather than to the house. Zero tail swing where the work runs hard against a boundary.

What shapes the work on these blocks

  • Sloping blocks Which means a site cut on most jobs, and the fall decides where the machine can safely stand.
  • Post-war brick and fibro With bonded asbestos assumed until tested.
  • Rock in places Not everywhere, but often enough that it is checked rather than assumed away.
  • Demolition and excavation as one sequence Which avoids a handover in the middle of the job.

Manly Vale streets are generally better for trucks than the beachside suburbs, so the cartage off a site cut is usually workable. The fall across the block is the main variable: it sets the volume coming out, the batter and the benching, and whether retaining is part of the scope.

What we do in Manly Vale

Five service groups, one contract

Most jobs need more than one of these. Quoted together they share a mobilisation, a programme and one set of truck movements instead of three contractors waiting on each other.

Manly Vale questions

What people ask before we start

Is rock likely on a Manly Vale block?
It is possible, and it varies over short distances. A geotechnical report narrows the range a long way, and where there is no report the rock is quoted on a rate so the price reflects what is actually there.
Can you do the retaining as well?
The excavation, the benching and the preparation are ours. Structural retaining is usually a separate trade working to an engineer design, and the dig is planned around it.
Why is rock priced on a rate instead of a fixed figure?
Because nobody knows how much rock is there until the dig opens up. The strip, the access and the cartage can be priced from a site visit. The rock is priced by the cubic metre at a rate agreed before we start, so the price follows what is actually excavated.
Is Max licensed for the asbestos removal itself?
Max holds the demolition licence, AD214737. The asbestos removal is carried out by licensed asbestos removalists, and the air monitoring and clearance by an independent licensed assessor. The whole pathway is managed as one job so you are not coordinating three contractors.
